Copy model memory + MK-voice file

In the first step we have to download the model memory, where we already have set all 16 channels for the transmitter and the needed "MK-voice file for your MikroKopter-> Download

After we downloaded it we have to unzip the folder and copy model memory and the voice file into the right folders on the microSD-Card (see picture). After this id done put the microSD-card back into the transmitter.

2.

Import model memory

In the next step we can import the model memory in the transmitter.

The steps are:

Switch ON the transmitter

If you see "Please select RF on/off?" -> select "OFF"

With the right "four-way button" select the middle button SET to open the Menu

Go down to Copy/Erase and press SET

Choose Import from SD and press SET

In the next window select "MK-Easy" and press SET again

Under "import to model" select the first place 01 and confirm with SET

We confirm the question "import?" with YES and SET

3.

Import MK-voice file

Only with the MK-voice file you can get the right announce for your MikroKopter via the transmitter

To install the voice file you have to open the "hidden mode":

On the left "four-way button" (ESC) press the buttons UP and DOWN at the same time and hold it

Now press at the right "four-way button" the center button SET

In the "hidden mode" choose VOICE and open it with SET

Select the MK-voice file you need (DE/EN) and start the import with SET

4.

Bind receiver

Now we can bind the receiver to the model memory MK-Easy.

To do this the receiver must be connected inthe right way with your copter and the copter must be powered ON with a Lipo. (See also: Connect receiver)

The steps are:

With the right "four-way button" select the middle button SET to open the Menu

Go down to Base setup model and press SET

Go down to "module HoTT" and select the left n/a

Now press at the receiver the "SET" button for ~3-4 seconds until the red LED is flashing red/green

Then pres the SET button on your transmitter

In the window you see now Finding...

When the receiver is properly bound, you see bind instead of n/a

INFO:The copter will maybe "beep" for the whole time. This will stop when all settings on the receiver are done.

5.

Deactivate receiver-FS

In the basic settings the receiver use his own "fail safe". This we have to deactivate.(When we not deactivate it and the copter lost the signal, he will fly away with the last received stick positions.)

That the copter always flies back to the "home position" (when he lost the signal) we have to use the MikroKopter FailSafe.

To deactivate it we have to do:

With the right "four-way button" select the middle button SET to open the Menu

Go down to Telemetry and press SET

In the telemetry window choose setting & data view and press SET

In the next menu press the right button to open RX FAIL SAFE

Here change MODE from "HOLD" to OFF...

6.

Activate PPM-Sum signal

For the FlightCtrl we need a ppm sum signal. This we can set now.As long as this is not set we get fron the copter an error messag ("err7: RC Signal lost") and the copter isbeeping the whole time.Directly after activating the sum signal the beeping stop and you can use the channels on the copter.

The steps are:

With the right "four-way button" select the middle button SET to open the Menu

Go down to Telemetry and press SET

In the telemetry window choose setting & data view and press SET

In the next menu press the right button to open RX SERVO TEST

Here change CH OUT TYPE from "ONCE" to SUMO 16...

Connect receiver

(Anschluss an FlighCtrl V3.0)

The FlightCtrl offers two cables to connect the Graupner HoTT receiver. The 3-wire PPM-cabel is for the channels and to power up the receiver.The gray cable is for the telemetry.

You can get different HoTT receivers you can use with the MikroKopter.Following we describe how to connect the receiver GR-16 and GR-24. Both receivers can send up to 16 channels via the ppm sum signal.

Receiver GR-16

The GR-16 HoTT offers 8 servo connections. Via servo out #8 we can get the needed ppm sum signal. Depending on the used transmitter you can grap here up to 16 channels.The range is specified by the manufacturer with up to 4000m.

Receiver GR-24

The GR-24 HoTT offers 12 servo connections. Via servo out #8 we can get the needed ppm sum signal. Depending on the used transmitter you can grap here up to 16 channels.The range is specified by the manufacturer with up to 4000m.

Check function of receiver and channels

If the copter is connected with the computer you can start the KopterTool. With this tool you can check the function of the single channels (under "Channels"). Move a stick, switch etc on your transmitter to see if the channel is acting in the bar.

INFO:

Choose as receiver Graupner HoTT

Activate "Telemetrie: Speak all events" to hear all messages

If you move a stick, switch etc., the number above the bar must reach from "0" to "254" and in center position "127"

MK Telemetry-Window

In the upper display of your transmitter you can see the MikroKopter-Telemetry. Here you can see:

Top left

"V" -> Lipo voltage

"0:00" -> Flight time

"mAh" -> Already used capacity

Top right

"Alt:" -> Altitude

"Dir:" -> Orientation of the copter

"I:" -> Current consumption

Center left

Number of reached satellites

Airspeed

Center right

Distance to "Homeposition"

Direction to "Homeposition"

Below

Status and error messages

If the MK-Telemetrie is not to see in the upper window you can open it as described here:

With the right "four-way button" select the upper button to see the "sensor window"

Go 'down' and select the sensor GPS and press SET

The Graupner telemetry window is now open

Pres one time the right button to open the "MK-Telemetry"

Text-Telemetry

Please note:If the Text-Telemetry is active there is no voice output and the logging is interrupted!

The "Text telemetry" can be opened via the menu "Telemetry". In this window you can see more informationsHierüber können mehr Telemetriewerte abgefragt werden.

How to open it:

With the right "four-way button" select the middle button SET to open the Menu

Go down to Telemetry and press SET

In the telemetry window choose setting & data view and press SET

In the next menu press the right button until you see the "Text-telemetry"

If the Text-Telemetry is open you can see more telemetry windows. To see this windows "click" the Button "left".

Telemetry - additional Info

In addition to the described telemetry display you can see some additional information / symbols.

These are as follows:

'-' = No GPS fix

'/' = off

'?' = Coming home, but home Position unknown (goes to PH then)

'H' = Coming home

'W' = Flying Waypoints

'D' = Dynamic Position Hold

'P' = Position Hold

'm' = Manual controlled

Lock the four-way-buttons

Wit´h the "four-way-buttons" you can change the displays or open the transmitter menu. When you will not do this you can lock the buttons.To lock the buttons press the buttons SET and ESC at the same time. You hear then a beep from the transmitter and in the lower display a key symbol. To unlock the buttons press SET and ESC again at the same time.

Logfile in the transmitter

The telemetry data of the transmitter and also the position data of the copter are storedon a sd card in the transmitter.The recording of this data will start with starting of the "flight timer". With our model memory "MK-Easy"this will start automatically when you start the copter (see picture).

Just in case you would loose your copter you can see the last position in this LOG.

In this case you can remove the card from your transmitter and put them in the computer. With the Graupner "PC Software" you can open the LOG and see the last position of the copter.
